Food Allergy

Talk to Us about Your Food Allergies and Diet Needs!

We take pride in sourcing wholesome analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. We are all passionate about serving students. From general manager to front line servers, we work diligently to address students’ specific needs, especially those with food allergies, Celiac disease, or special diet needs.
A team approach led by you, our educated consumer, is the best preparation for a safe school year free of allergic reactions. We want to meet one-on-one with all our customers who have individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern, please call at (909) 607-2675 or send us an email at dining_services@hmc.edu.

Menu allergens 

Our menu system provides ingredient statements specifically highlighting the FDA most common allergens: milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, wheat, & soy. Guests may check on the presence of allergens prior to planning their meals using the online menu, and nutrition calculator. The absence of an allergen listed on posted or electronic product signage is not a guarantee that the product is free of that allergen. The guest is responsible for communicating their allergy to a supervisor or manager to ensure safety.

My Zone

My Zone is our campus “pantry” located in the South West Corner of the dining hall, where food items needed by students with Celiac disease or food allergies are stored. This special area is free of tree nut, peanut, and gluten-containing ingredients and products. My Zone gives students the ability to be involved in their own allergen-safe meal preparation. For more information on using My Zone, please contact Dining Services at (909) 607-2675 or email us at dining_services@hmc.edu.
